Drag Board - A Simple Kanban Board for Drag and Drop

Drag Board is a lightweight Kanban board that lets you easily drag and drop tasks between columns. It’s built with:

React
DnD-Kit
TypeScript
Tailwind CSS
Framer Motion
Lucide Icons

👾 Key Features

Drag and drop entire containers.
Delete containers and items with ease.
Edit the names of containers and individual items.
Seamlessly move items between containers via drag and drop.
Add new containers and items (both draggable).
Visual cues to show which container is currently being edited.

📒 Development Process

The development began with implementing the functionality to create containers. Next, I added the drag-and-drop feature for the containers themselves. Following that, I focused on enabling item creation within the containers and allowing those items to be dragged and dropped.

Once the basic functionality was in place, I styled the board, drawing inspiration from modern Kanban boards like Jira, Trello, and Notion, based on my experience.

Next, I introduced features for deleting items and containers and editing their names. I also implemented visual indicators for the container currently being edited. Finally, I made some minor refactoring and styling adjustments.

Throughout the development process, additional features were integrated as needed. All data is saved in local storage, so users can pick up right where they left off when they return.

Note: This project serves to demonstrate the use of DnD-Kit and TypeScript. It is not intended to be a fully-featured Kanban board.
